Saheliya Community Garden in Glasgow was designed and developed by 50 wonderful women at Saheliya between May and July 2016.
At present the community garden has:
- 250m2 of raised beds for growing fruit and vegetables
- An outdoor kitchen for cooking produce from the garden
- A shipping container being slowly turned into a community space
Coming soon:
- Herb garden
- Orchard
- Outdoor classroom
- Wild-life pond
- Garden conservatory
Benefits of community gardening:
- Practice your English in a relaxed environment
- Make new friends and have fun
- Learn new skills
- Fresh fruit and vegetables to harvest and take home
- Fresh air and exercise is good for mind, body and spirit
- 15 minutes of gardening is more effective than a daily anti-depressant
How to get involved:

We also have opportunities for learning how to Grow Your Own Food.
